Patient's question:
After not using a condom for three days, I felt like I had balanitis, followed by discomfort in my body. My tongue is very white and looks like cottage cheese. Suddenly, it's hot today, 37.2°C. This is the fifth day after the incident. Could I be infected with HIV?Doctor's answer:
After the history of sexual activity, symptoms such as fever and discomfort reappear. This situation involves high-risk sexual behavior, and it is recommended that you avoid such situations in the future. It is advised that you visit a regular hospital for follow-up, have your secretions tested, and undergo blood tests to check for other infectious diseases. Always visit a regular hospital. For patients with balanitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If left untreated, it can affect your health. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
